Spread butter on both sides of the bread. Then cut out a 2 1/2 inch circle from the center of each slice.
Place the cut out rounds on one baking sheet and the slices on the second tray.
Bake both trays for 4-6 minutes ay 375 degrees or until the bottoms are golden brown. Turn each piece so the browned side is up.
Crack an egg into the center of each bread slice then sprinkle with ham and cheese.
Bake both trays for 5-8 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are runny. The amount of time will depend on how runny you like your yolk, Keep and eye the rounds and if they are getting too brown before the eggs are done, pull them from the oven. Serves 6.
Garnish eggs with parsley and serve with rounds for dipping.
